The Fourth Matsumoto Koshiro as a Man Walking under an Umbrella

Katsukawa Shun'ei 勝川春英

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A man in traditional Japanese clothing, wearing a kimono with a pink and gold floral pattern and a beige under-kimono, stands on a sandy area, holding a parasol above his head with one hand and a dog leash with the other. The parasol is beige with a grid pattern and appears to be made of paper or silk. The man's hair is covered with a hat. He wears geta-style sandals on his feet. The dog, on a leash, is small, with a predominantly white coat and black spots. In the background, there is a brown fence with snow on top, and snow-covered trees. The sky is gray and cloudy. The artwork depicts a scene with a title referencing a person named Matsumoto Koshiro.
